As the sun settles in
Remember the games we played?
You'd always let me win
You laughed and smiled
But you could only stay for a while
The tree, the back porch,
The tire swing and everything
As the sun blew out her torch
Our hiding place and that look on your face
We didn't want to leave
So we joined hands around
And we all fell down
With grass stained clothes
And knowing nobody knows
It's getting kinda late
It's getting dark outside
"Annie, come on inside right now
Before I count to five!"
And when that hand came down
We all fell down
With blood stained clothes
And knowing nobody knows
Now, Annie, please,
You have to understand
That hanging on
Won't tear you from this man
A wild wind blows
A wild wind blows
A child I know
The wild wind blows
And my mild mind knows
And my heart let goes
Annie, please, forgive me
The silence was too long
That's why I'm singing
Someone else your song
So we join hands now
As the rain falls down
With tear soaked clothes
And knowing somebody knows
Annie, your free...
I'm free...
